Web interface for MiGA

Ruby version

We test MiGA Web with Ruby 2.x (MRI). Some gems used in the rails backend are unavailable for Ruby < 2.0.

System dependencies

First, make sure you have bundle:

gem install bundle

Next, get miga-web and all its dependencies:

git clone https://github.com/bio-miga/miga-web.git
cd miga-web
bundle

Deployment instructions

1. Preparations

Once your MiGA Web is ready, you can start the server. First, prepare the system:

# Tell rails this is a production server:
export RAILS_ENV=production
# create an empty folder to host your projects (it can be anywhere):
mkdir $HOME/miga-data
# Generate the initial database:
bundle exec rake db:migrate
# Precompile assets:
bundle exec rake assets:precompile

2. Settings

Next, configure the server. Simply copy config/settings.yml to config/settings.local.yml and modify the necessary variables. If you modified the data location above (folder to host your projects), make sure to set the correct path for miga_projects.

3. Launch

Finally, launch the server. We have had a great experience with Puma, so that's what we use.

export SECRET_KEY_BASE=`bundle exec rake secret`
bundle exec rails server -e production -u Puma

Now you can visit your MiGA Web interface at localhost:3000. To use a world-accessible address, simply set mail_host to that address in config/settings.local.yml, and pass it to rails using -b and -p. For example, this is how we launch our own MiGA Web:

export SECRET_KEY_BASE=`bundle exec rake secret`
bundle exec rails server -e production -b enve-omics.ce.gatech.edu -p 3000 -u Puma

Create admin users

Once you create your first user from the website, you may want to make it an admin. You can do so from the console:

bundle exec rails console -e production
irb> u = User.find(1) # Change the 1 for the actual ID of your user
irb> u.update(admin: true)

How to run the test suite

Execute bundle exec rake test.
